[gita-talk] Which One Faith, Which One Belief is the Greenwich Mean Time of all Faiths?

All countries have their own local time yet they maintain its relation with Greenwich Mean Time.

All communities [Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians etc.] have their own faiths and beliefs. Do they ALL, also maintain their relation with some One Faith or One Belief? If yes, which One Faith or which One Belief?

This is in response to a question from a Sadhaka, regarding the faith and The Lord.

All faiths, and all religions teach us essentially the same principles which are Truth, Compassion , dedication and total surrender unto The Lord. The way we worship may be different, the names may be different but in true spiritual sense all religions are the same. To develop concentration and dedication let us stick to one whatever you choose.

Lord Krishna says in Bhagavadgita ,

" Sarvadharman parityajya

Mamekamsaranamvraja,

Ahamtvam sarvapapebhyo,

Mokshayisyami masucaha"

( Gitaji 18, 66)

Which means,

' abandon all varieties and surrender unto Me. I will free you from all the sins and give you moksha,liberation. Donot fear or worry.'

Dear Saadhka & all, Namaskar, You have asked a very good question!! Before, I give you answer I would like to tell you my childhood thinking about religons: I used to feel that Hindus going to temple doing puja, Muslims going to Masjid for Namaz, Sikhs to Gurdavara for Ardas and the like... can never be absolutely essential. Because, If one is absolutely essential then rest won't be so. I was wondering the thing which is common in all religions should be be actually absolute essential. At that very young age of about 9 years, I could not think of such a thing! Now, after growing up and reading from various sources I understand that that thing is well given in at least six to seven different beliefs of faiths same to same!! For the benefit of all and you in-particular here it is given as under: DO UNTO OTHERS, WHAT YOU EXPECT OTHERS SHOULD DO UNTO YOU !!! With regards, Kuldeep.K. Kaul

Faith and belief are beginning of seeking truth. The starting points.

The nly single unifying belief or faith for all believers in all religions is that the 'Almighty exists and therefore we exist at His pleasure" The rest of all religious beliefs are all derived from this central belief.

keep the mind like a slate clean it everyday dont dwell inpast be happy in today dont worry about un known future, dont worry too much about so many things... of the world...this world is very very big with so many things dont tx your 2 pound brain...keep it clean...be happy have faith in one thing and work on it god bless you swamiji - SWAMI KRISHNANANDA

First, the Concept of God, Ishwar, Khuda and the like, is to be grasped correctly. Every Religion considers the Almighty to be the Creator of the this Universe, Vishwa. And since, there is only one Vishwa, there has to be only ONE CREATOR.....That is ALMIGHTY.

God, Ishwar, Khuda and the like, are different names of ALMIGHTY.

It will be ideal, if all the religions, bring yhis thought into practice to attain World Peace.

Question : How we the creation of all that Almighty ascribe/describe THAT in words like LORD/KHUDHA/ISHWARA etc. ?

Can anyone of us ascribe/describe in a gross/physical form such "INFINITE" flowing in every atom of the Universe ?

All faith@belief is in living and ascribing to THAT .....that's in all realities is one's faith and then we are able perform like the Nature's other creation like Suraj, Vayu, Jal, Aakash & Dhartee etc. Like the Sun in all his glory giveslight and heat equal to us all !! So can we (!) in whatever capacity and capabilities we individually have acquired as an element of THAT Creation !

Why the issue of Enlightenment or God arises?Simply because one treats pain (any uneasiness) and uncertainty as alien, something not belonging to you. Or one wants stable relief by the ideas of Enlightenment or God or Realisation. When one sees that pain and uncertainty are psychological discomforts only (if not immediate physical danger) and that there can not be stability in this field-one sees the resting point within. Realisation happens.
